"How long sometimes a day appears!

And weeks, how long are they!

Months move as slow as if the years

Would never pass away.

"It seems a long, long time ago

That I was taught to read;

And since I was a babe, I know

'Tis very long indeed.

"Days, months, and years are passing by,

And soon will all be gone;

And day by day, as minutes fly,

Eternity comes on.

"Days, months and years must have an end;

Eternity has none.

'Twill always have as long to spend

As when it first begun.

"Great God! no finite mind can tell

How much a thing can be:

I only pray that I may dwell

That long, long time with Thee."
